[SOLVED] How to access NVRAM?

[pesche]

Hello,

I planing to reset my AC68U.
In the NVRAM FAQ there is a nice tutorial. Also how to perform a text based backup.

My problem is.
I can't run 'nvram'. The command is not found.
Did I missed something? Do I have to install it?

thanks!

AFAIK the nvram command is part of the basic firmware, so unless you've messed up your search path...

Try this:

/usr/sbin/nvram

Believe me or not.
I just logged in again. And it is working now...
Now I feel stupid

Thanks!

For anyone on an AC66U, use /bin/nvram instead

You can find out where your router's nvram command is by running 'which nvram' (sans quotes) from an SSH console session.

EDIT: Sorry for grave digging.. I was having a similar issue and stumbled upon this thread without checking the date.
